Man with a Van in Blyth & Northumberland
Collections, deliveries and small moves across the North East. Book it on its own, or with a storage unit and get a discount on the move — one phone call either way.
A van and a pair of hands, when that is all you need
Not every job needs a removal firm and a three-week lead time. A sofa bought off Facebook Marketplace in Ashington. A flat move that is two van-loads. A pallet that needs collecting from a merchant. A house clearance where somebody has to actually lift things.
We run a man-with-a-van service across Blyth, Northumberland and the wider North East. It is a proper standalone service — you do not need to be storing anything with us to book it. If you are taking a unit, there is a discount on the move, which is why most people end up doing both at once.
Single items & furniture
The sofa, the wardrobe, the fridge freezer. Bought online, inherited, or being shifted across town — one item, one job, no minimum.
Flat & small house moves
Two or three van-loads rather than a full removal lorry. Students, first flats, downsizing — the moves a removal firm quotes silly money for.
Collections & deliveries
Picking up from a merchant, an auction, a warehouse or a seller who will not deliver. Tell us where it is and when it needs to be somewhere else.
Into and out of storage
Loading straight into your unit here, or emptying it when you are done. Discounted when you take a unit at the same time — and we already know where we are going.
Where we cover
Based in Blyth and out across Northumberland and Tyneside most days. If you are further afield, ring anyway — longer runs are fine, it just changes the price rather than the answer.
Blyth & NE24
Our own doorstep — Cowpen, Newsham, Bebside, South Beach. Often same-day.
Cramlington & Bedlington
Fifteen minutes down the A189, and two of our most regular runs.
Ashington & Morpeth
North up the Spine Road, taking in North Seaton, Guide Post and Pegswood.
The coast
Seaton Delaval, Whitley Bay, North Shields, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea and Tynemouth.
Newcastle & Gosforth
Thirty minutes down the A189. City-centre flats and student moves are a regular one.
Further out
Wider Northumberland, Tyneside, Durham and beyond. Ring with the two postcodes and we will price it.
And if it needs to go into storage
Whatever ends up in storage, you get to it on your own fob at any hour of the day. See 24/7 access and secure storage for how the gate, the cameras and the padlock work.
24/7 fob access
Your own entry fob on a fully automated site. Come and go whenever suits, day or night.
Electric gated compound
A private, gated yard monitored by 24-hour CCTV, with well-lit hard standing throughout.
Your lock, your key
You fit your own padlock. Nobody else can open your unit — not even us.

Wind and watertight, ventilated against condensation. No rust, no damp, no musty smell.
Drive right up to it
Park at your unit door and unload straight in. No loading bay, no lift, no trolley.

What our customers say
Where we are based
Blyth Riverside Business Park, off Cowpen Road and signed from the A189. Being based here is the reason the storage-and-move combination works so neatly: the van and the unit are in the same place, so there is no second journey and no second company to chase.

Man with a van questions, answered
Do I have to store with you to book the van?
No. It is a standalone service and plenty of people use it without storing anything at all — a single item, a flat move, a collection. If you are taking a unit, there is a discount on the move, which is worth mentioning when you ring.
What areas do you cover?
Blyth and the whole of south-east Northumberland as standard — Cramlington, Bedlington, Ashington, Morpeth, Seaton Delaval, Newbiggin — plus the coast and Newcastle. Longer runs across the North East are fine too; give us the two postcodes and we will price it.
Will you help me carry things?
Yes — that is the difference between this and hiring a van. If it is a heavy or awkward item, a piano, or a third-floor flat with no lift, say so when you book so we turn up with the right number of people and the right kit rather than working it out on your doorstep.
How much does it cost?
It depends on distance, how long it takes and how much lifting is involved, so there is no single number worth quoting here. Ring with the two addresses and a rough list of what is moving and you will get a straight price on the phone. If you are also taking a unit, tell us — there is a discount on the move.
How much notice do you need?
The more the better, particularly around month-end and bank holidays when everybody moves at once. That said, short-notice jobs are often possible — if a delivery has fallen through or a completion has moved, ring and ask rather than assume. Worst case we tell you no and you have lost a phone call.
Do you do house clearances?
Clearing and moving items, yes. Full house clearance including disposal is a different job with waste-carrier obligations attached to it, so tell us plainly what is involved — what is being kept, what is being taken away — and we will say honestly which parts we can do and which need someone else.
Can you move a caravan, trailer or vehicle?
Depends what it is. A trailer or something small and towable, usually yes. A non-runner needing a recovery truck, no — that is a job for a recovery firm and we will tell you so rather than turn up and find out. Describe it on the phone and you will get a straight answer.
Can you take it straight into a unit?
Yes, and it is the tidiest way to do it. We load at your end, drive it here, and put it straight into your container — you can meet us here or leave us to it. No double handling, no waiting around for a second van, and everything lands in one place on the same day.
How do I book?
Ring 01670 333030 or message us on WhatsApp with the collection address, the delivery address, the date and roughly what is moving. Photos help a lot for anything big or awkward — send them on WhatsApp and we can price it properly first time.
Ready to sort your storage?
Ring Richard and the team on 01670 333030, or message us on WhatsApp. Tell us roughly what you need to store and we will tell you which size fits — no obligation, no pressure.
